Abstract: Composition produced from paving grade asphalt, process oil (not over 32%) and SBR rubber or rubbers, such as butadiene-styrene copolymers, in decreasing amounts by weight. A preferred range is asphalt 41.9-61.25%, process oil 18-25%, lower molecular weight butadiene-styrene copolymer 8-17%, higher molecular weight butadiene-styrene copolymer 2-4% and filler, such as limestone dust, 0-20%. Other preferred formulae are shown, as well as temperature and other conditions of the preferred method, including reheating of composition for application to joints, cracks and the like.

Abstract: A cold applied joint sealant usable for both portland cement and asphaltic concrete pavements, which comprises an asphalt/urethane formulation resulting from the mixture of a liquid butadiene polymer, containing predominantly primary terminal hydroxyl groups, with a urethane reactant of di- or polyisocyanate. The sealant has low urethane content and cures to provide a low modulus, high penetration, with 85%-95% resilience and zero flow. An initial set time of less than about 120 minutes is achieved, which permits vehicular traffic to be accommodated thereover soon after application.
